Atletico Tucumán Preview
Atlético Tucumán lost in its debut in the Argentine First Division 1-0 against Boca Juniors, at La Bombonera. Despite losing, the performance shown by the team led by Lucas Pusineri was not bad at all. In fact, the DT made it clear at the press conference that the team’s efforts are worth praising. “It’s worth getting our hopes up for what the team showed on the field “.
For the match against Talleres, the Tucumán team gets Ignacio Maestro Puch back, who had been called up for the Argentina U-20 National Team. This adds one more option to the midfield forward. Meanwhile, Manuel Capasso will not return to play for Atlético Tucumán, as he has been transferred this week to Vasco da Gama of Brazil.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Tomás Marchiori; Hernán de la Fuente, Bruno Bianchi, Yonathan Cabral and Matías Orihuela; Renzo Tesuri, Guillermo Acosta, Francisco Di Franco and Joaquín Pereyra; Marcelo Estigarribia and Mateo Coronel.
Talleres Preview
Talleres lost to Independiente 1-0 at home. The level of play shown did not satisfy coach Javier Gandolfi, so changes are expected to take place for the clash in Tucumán.
To begin with, Franco Saavedra could replace the expelled Ángelo Martino. Another change that could take place on defense, is the one of Gastón Benavídez, who played against Independiente at the center, when he usually plays at the right back. He would return to his usual position and Julio Buffarini would start in that sector instead.
Alan Franco and Diego Valoyes, who returned to practice after playing for his national team (Colombia), will return to the starting lineup for midfield position.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Guido Herrera; Gastón Benavídez, Juan Carlos Portillo, Juan Gabriel Rodríguez and Franco Saavedra; Rodrigo Villagra, Alan Franco; Valentín Depietri, Rodrigo Garro and Francisco Pizzini; and Diego Valoyes.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Atlético Tucuman and Talleres only records seven matches, of which the Decano won only one, and Talleres four.
Lucas Pusineri’s team is humble, but if it remembers the good collective play shown in the second half of 2022, then it will most likely take all three points. At JefeBet we will be rooting for the Tucuman squad for these 90 minutes of soccer.
Prediction: Atlético Tucumán wins 1-0.
